Besides being a great warrior, Athena’s personality was impressively multiple. She was the Goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, strategic warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. One of her symbols is the owl which then became the symbol of wisdom.

The Nymphs were ancient Greek nature spirits; today we know them as fairies. Their home was one of the hills of Athens, the Hill of the Nymphs, right at the heart of the city! Their best friend was the God Pan who accompanied them with the beautiful music he made with his flute! The Nymphs’ magical power was the ability to transform into trees!
